Chapter 21: The Battle of Stonetalon Valley
The Stonetalon Mountains in the seventh year of the Dark Gate are actually different from the Stonetalon Mountains after the Cataclysm in Drunken Wind's impression, the volcano has not yet erupted, and the west coast is still mostly cliffs, with only a winding path leading to the interior of the Stonetalon Mountains under the Far Lookout.

After the minotaurs got off the boat, they began to trek hard - fortunately, endurance is the racial talent of the minotaurs, otherwise after a long time in the Stonetalon Mountains, other races might have collapsed internally.
During the long migration, Zuifeng wanted to help several times, but found that it was not his strength, firstly, because he did not know enough about the various clans of the Minotaurs, and secondly, he was not good at handling this kind of internal affairs. Drunken Wind, who had nothing to do, simply rode into the can, and went to the mouth of Stonetalon Valley one step ahead of time to see the mane's defenses.
Rushed to the mouth of the Stoneclaw Valley, and the drunken wind couldn't help but take a breath of cool air.
According to the plan, the Mane Clan set up a pass at the mouth of the Stoneclaw Valley, although the structure was a little rough due to the time constraints, but relying on the dangerous terrain, the Mane Clan still blocked the impact of the centaurs.
To the surprise of Drunken Wind, the centaur was actually preparing to use his life to pile up a slope that could hit the pass!
It seems that Drunken Wind's series of plans in the Bleak Lands have given the centaurs a sense of crisis, and the four centaur clans in the Bleak Lands actually cooperated with all their might, sending wave after wave of centaur forerunners to charge towards the pass regardless of their lives.
The warriors of the Barbarian Mane Clan relied on the advantage of geographical advantage, and the casualties were very small, but the geographical advantage was being filled in little by little.
Drunken Wind directly participated in a defense of the city, and after repelling the centaurs, Drunken Wind roughly estimated that as long as the centaurs filled with their lives for three or five days, the pass at the intersection of Stone Claw Road would have no cliff to rely on, and although the centaurs were still feints, they could already cause greater damage to the minotaur warriors in the pass.
Realizing this, Drunken Wind did not dare to delay, and after saying goodbye to Gulda Mane, he hurried to find Kane Bloodhoof on a can.
"I really didn't expect that this time the centaurs would actually unite." Hearing the news, Kane Bloodhoof immediately wrinkled his head. Although the centaurs move quickly and their strength is good, but their internal strife can always give the minotaurs a chance at a critical time, but I didn't expect that this time all the centaur clans were united, so the situation instantly became serious.
The vanguard of the Minotaur had just arrived in the Coke Valley, and after a short discussion, they immediately set off lightly and rushed to the mouth of the Stonetalon Valley, and the shaman and hunter were given priority to ensure long-range strike capabilities.
When the reinforcements arrived at the mouth of the Stoneclaw Valley day and night, it was already the middle of the night on the third day, and the corpses of the centaurs had piled up less than three meters below the pass, and many brave centaur pioneers and the desperate centaur overseers stepped on the corpses of their companions to charge, and then jumped over the wooden walls of the pass and rushed directly into the pass, although they were quickly solved by the minotaur warriors, but it greatly boosted the morale of the centaur coalition army.
"Thank goodness you're here." By this time, Gulda Mane was already emaciated, and the great shaman had to help defend the pass during the day, but also banish the plague from the corpses of the centaurs at night - not that they didn't want to lose these corpses in a fire, after all, the centaurs were half earth-elemental, and their corpses were not to be lit at all......
"Every day, we take advantage of the night guard to push the centaur corpses as far away as possible, so that this brother does not rise too fast, but there are more and more centaurs dying here, and we don't even have the strength to move these corpses."
"The problem is that the number of centaurs we kill is meaningless." Kane Bloodhoof pointed out the most important thing directly, "There are so many brutes in this group, there are more than 100,000 centaurs in the entire Bleak Lands, even if we have an absolute advantage, we can't kill them all, so all we can do is hold them or repel them." ā
"I don't think it's okay to hold on." Gulda Mane offered his opinion, "Then we will lose the initiative, and once we have no advantage, and the centaurs rush through the valley, our work will be in vain." ā
"This time it can only be hard work." Drunken Wind was also a little helpless, "After all, it is a big war between races, and it is impossible to rely on stratagem forever." ā
"That's not afraid!" Kane Bloodhoof was in high spirits at this time, "You have helped us withdraw from the Bleak Land almost unscathed, the hardest part has been completed, and you can see how the warriors of Shuharu crushed the enemy with their own strength!" ā
"Okay then." Drunken Wind nodded, "The large army will go to the Scorching Sun Stone Residence, and then go to the barren land, and rush directly to Mogaolei, leaving a part of the elite warriors to stay at the mouth of the Stoneclaw Valley to stop the centaurs." ā
"That's it."
Due to the lack of understanding of the various clans of the Minotaurs, this time the drunken wind is no longer in command. Originally, Drunken Wind thought that he only needed to be responsible for charging into battle, but when the final combat mission was arranged, Kane Bloodhoof made special requirements for Drunken Wind.
"Drunken wind, you come and try to rescue the wounded soldiers."
Since it is a blocking battle, the focus is to retain your own living forces, which is understandable, but let yourself be responsible for the rescue...... Drunken Wind is really very embarrassing, he knows his own things, and he is very skilled in the skills of stepping on the wind and the skills that are obvious, but the way of weaving fog of the warrior monk, Drunken Wind really doesn't know anything.

As soon as the sky was bright, the centaur forerunner stepped on the corpse and rushed to the pass, and the centaur shooter in the rear raised the angle to throw, although the accuracy was not very good, but the victory was enough in the number, and a few minotaur unlucky people with shields were still shot by stray arrows, and they could only helplessly launch the battle.
"The hunter team 1, 2, and 3 shoot intermittently to ensure coverage!" The minotaur hunters, under the command of Kane Bloodhoof, condescended to return the color to the centaurs, and the three teams of hunters ensured that the shooting would not be interrupted, but the density of the rain of arrows was a bit miserable compared to the centaurs.
The Minotaur Shamans would love to have a lightning bolt, but unfortunately there is no magic left, and everyone needs to do everything in their power to stabilize the land of the pass, otherwise if they are not careful, the seismic magic of the centaur wizards may destroy the entire pass.
Both sides of the battle showed great resilience, the centaurs did not care about sacrifice, and slammed their flesh and blood against the defense lines of the minotaurs, while the minotaurs stood like a reef in the sea, and the battle continued until noon.
"Shuharu warriors!" Kane Bloodhoof let out a charging cry, "It's time for us to charge!" The ancestors are with us! ā
"Charge!"
"For power and glory!"
